Superficially, whose beach tote wouldn’t benefit from having this chic tube in it? For practical purposes, its formidable SPF protects in a nice, non-greasy, lightly scented way.

2

A favorite among derms, this is a trusted sunscreen for even the most active, whether in sand or water.

3

No need to apply sparingly for fear of breaking out with this light lotion, which is oil-free and fragrance-free.

4

The ease of this applicator rocks. I like to spray my shoulders with this before heading out to garden.

5

I wore this on a bike ride over the weekend and neither sun nor sweat affected how well this worked.

6

Walk to work? Eat lunch al fresco? This matte formula is light enough to live nicely under makeup and impart a nice, smooth finish.

7

Chemical and preservative-free, with plankton and organic beeswax to boost the SPF, this formula’s gentle enough for the little tykes.

8

Purists and minimalists alike will love this two-fer product. Both a tinted moisturizer (for cosmetic coverage) as well as a sturdy sunscreen (for REAL coverage), its consistency is as natural feeling as its shake-it formulation.
